Enhance Your Journal’s Visibility and Impact

The objective of researchers is to have their work published in high-impact
journals that can maximize the visibility and impact of their research. This
means making sure that the journal is respected in the academic community and
that other researchers are citing their work. In this talk, various practical
strategies are presented for journal publishers to enhance their article citations
without resorting to unethical practices. Nader Ale Ebrahim, a consultant on
research visibility and impact, elaborates on how these factors contribute to a
journal's success and provides a selection of "Research Tools" to support editors
and editorial staff in promoting and publicizing their publications to enhance
their journal's visibility and impact. The attendees of the talk will gain a
thorough comprehension of the practical strategies and tools available to market
their publications and amplify the visibility and impact of their journals.

High Impact Research
Don't forget, the quality of your work will always matter. Helping the world to be a better place is
essential to gain attention to your research work!

However, it is difficult to distinguish whether
high citations are due to quality or visibility
(Ale Ebrahim et al., 2014).
